so that's a much better situation, if you're john boehner or if you're eric cantor or if you're obama or democrats or the country, for that matter. >> is it sustainable, given this is a proxy battle which stands in for the larger war for the republican establishment or the republican insurgency, who wins this battle and how does it factor into that larger war? >> it's always hard to predict the future, but this very well could be the turning point. because if you think about where the power of the tea party lies, it's in their very credible threat against house leadership. but house leadership can now turn them towards senator cruz. so whenever they're up against, say, a government shutdown, debt ceiling, whatever else they're getting pressured to do, all boehner has to do is say, look, if your buddy, ted cruz, can come up with a strategy where this can get all the way through and the pressure isn't all on the house, then i'm willing to do it. and ted cruz can't do that, and they know, the tea party knows that ted cruz will just put all the pressure on house republicans, so they'll sa
